900 people arrested in South Africa protests

Thousands marched on Tuesday to demand that all undocumented migrants leave the country

Police in South Africa say they arrested more than 900 people during Tuesday's nationwide protest against illegal immigration. Tuesday marked an unofficial deadline set by anti-immigration groups for all undocumented migrants to leave the country. We speak to our correspondent who was at the protests.

Rescue workers in Venezuela have pulled a three year old boy alive from the rubble six days after the devastating double earthquakes. The rescue comes well after the initial three-day period immediately after the quake during which experts say people trapped under debris have the best chance of being found alive. We speak to people who have been directly affected by the earthquake to hear their stories.

As the World Cup knockout stages continue we speak to fans around the world about their hopes for their country.
